HANZHONG, China, February 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China HGS Real Estate Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSH) ("China HGS" or the "Company"), a leading regional real estate developer headquartered in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, China, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 ended December 31, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An electronic copy of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q can be accessed on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Highlights for the Quarter

  • Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were approximately $10.6 million, a decrease of 25.3% from approximately $14.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014. Total revenues recognized from percentage of completion method were approximately $9.8 million, which accounted for 92.9% of total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
  • Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 totaled approximately $1.6 million, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million from the net income of approximately $3.1 million in the same period of last year. The decreased profit margin in this quarter compared to the same quarter of last year was primarily due to a slow down of contracted sales achieved in the current quarter.
  • Basic and diluted net earnings per share ("EPS") attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were $0.04, compared to $0.07 for the same quarter last year.

"We had a slow down in sales during the quarter," said Mr. Xiaojun Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China HGS. "Generally the first quarter is a slow season for the real estate developers. Since the construction of our real estate property under development is close to completion, we expect a recovery of sales when more residence move into our properties. In addition, we will consider increasing our marketing and promotional activities to attract more customers. We are positive about the outlook for the local real estate market in a long term," concluded Mr. Xiaojun Zhu.
